Voices and accents

Can't Post

Just a quick observation with regard to this subject (I don't know whether it has been raised before on this forum, so apologies if it has).
Special care seems to have been taken to get the voices of the characters right, from Thorin's deep voice and the bonkers sound of the Goblin King, to the ground-shaking noise of Azog's speeches. I like Azog least of the characters in the film, but his voice and use of the Orkish tongue are very impressive.
The wonderful Scottish accents of Dwarves such as Balin and Dwalin (and their deep voices) have also been used to really good effect. I also like what has been done with the Trolls in terms of both their voices and accents, as well as their overall appearance and behaviour. Brian Sibley's 'Movie Guide' (which for me is the best of the books about the film so far) describes how the scenes with the Trolls were filmed, using motion capture. It seems as though the actors and PJ had great fun producing those scenes. I'm not sure how they managed to keep straight faces.

Welsh is a very hard accent to put on without sounding silly
